Now WAIT a minute..
Flash and scientists find out a way for the Sky Flash, Flash Gordon's ship, to go at light speed, therefore going back in time if they wanted to, or so
...
it's explained in a way that I missed. Unfortunately, the queen of Leia wants to find that secret too so she can rule all of time! She captures Dale and tortures her. Flash uses the Sky Flash for his own selfish reasons (really, Flash, get over it) AND assumes the criminals will stay as they are so he can resolve this episode the way HE wants it, without making one iota bit of sense whatsoever. lol
